He lives off 6th and 15th,\u201d the affidavit said.<\/p>\n<p>Surveillance footage from the gas station showed a man and the victim appearing to get into an argument, the affidavit said. The man then grabbed a black handgun from his jean shorts and fired twice. He \u201ccalmly walked away from the scene,\u201d as the victim fell to the ground and tried to run away.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the initial information, a deputy advised over the radio that Victor Steven Boyd, 43, of Deerfield Beach, matched the shooter\u2019s description and drove an orange Buick.<\/p>\n<p>A Broward sheriff\u2019s helicopter spotted the Buick in Margate and captured footage of Boyd throwing an object, believed to be a gun, into a canal, the affidavit said. He got back in the car and left.<\/p>\n<p>As Boyd was driving away, deputies pulled him over in traffic and took him into custody. He was arrested on charges of attempted first-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon around 20 minutes after the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies then went to Broward Health North to interview the victim, who wasn\u2019t identified by authorities. He was unable to give a coherent statement because of his injuries. If he didn\u2019t receive medical treatment, he could have died, deputies said.<\/p>\n<p>Boyd invoked his right to an attorney, so deputies couldn\u2019t interview him and \u201cno questions were asked,\u201d the affidavit said.<\/p>\n<p>He was being held without bond Monday at the Broward Main Jail, records show. Boyd\u2019s public defender, Ashlin Morgan, didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/profile\/313699071\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Headshots AGS 036 .jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Profile Image of Sofia Saric\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man shot a person in the left ear and shoulder Saturday, May 30, 2026, at a Citgo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-292490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
